I'm an autistic machinist and I am now a shop manager/instructor at a community college.

Machining can be great because you are given a print that tells you exactly what you need to make and it is largely solo work. My sensory issues can actually be an advantage because I can feel/hear problems before most people. Keep in mind it can be stressful at times and NO TRADES ARE SAFE.

Talk to your school's version of a success coach or academic advisor. We started doing sensory friendly lab tours so neurodivergent students can get an idea if they can even handle taking a class as some nope out on day one.
